All OCR is done on the device, in fact, you can put your phone in Airplane Mode 
and it still works just the same.

This app sounds very good however why would like to noise does it use the 
Internet to translate what it has taken a photograph of and if so is there a 
way you can do it off-line

Jonathan,

 

What is the app called in the app store? I searched for KNFB and didn’t find 
anything. Perhaps its not in the Canadian app store yet. I, for sure am getting 
it when I can find it

Subject: KNFB Reader, First Impressions

 

I've spent the last half hour or so playing with KNFB Reader on my iPhone 5s. I 
couldn't be more impressed.

I read my son's school report, which it got word perfect even when it came to 
reading tables. It read a glossy pizza menu fairly well. It read the page of a 
book perfectly, and it read a letter I received in the mail. The feedback one 
gets via vibration to line up the picture is incredibly helpful. You can use 
the field of view report if you need to for even more information about camera 
positioning and angle.

And, it's fast. Very fast, between taking a picture and getting speech.

It's early days but this has actually exceeded my expectations. Certainly it's 
possible to use other apps, but I've found nothing this simple, fast, or 
accurate without any additional aids. Outstanding stuff.
